The military offers some real advantages; training, enlistment bonuses and education assistance, as well as the pride of serving your country.
However it is a commitment you have to make that is very real and has consequences atached to it.

If you're concerned about "staying out of harms way", than perhaps the military isn't a good choice for you.
While no one truly wants to die, it is an accepted risk one takes whenever one joins the military.

One insight into the Navy, make sure you are comfortable living weeks or months at a time on a ship, working in confining areas and doing the same routine.

What Patrick said but the main reason with airforce instead of navy.
No women on ships, altho that is outdated.

Good luck with the NAVY...Do get all your stuff in writting...Like MOS. See what they offer you like E-2 or E-3 pay instead of E-1. I'm in the Coast Guard and enjoy it. If you like the water go to the Navy or Coast Guard. But if you don't and being on a boat isn't your thing try the Air Force. I'd say go see waht the Air Force and Coast Guard offer you. If have a few years of school under your belt you could go officer.

Thx for the advice all. Im ganna go look into aiforce today and hopefully coastguard on saturday if they are open wish me luck

Oh and the thing about being on a ship for months at a time BS, would done 12 in but canceled my orders to New Orleans before the hurricane, Thank ......I know alot of people that did 20 years and never saw a ship.

I know that if you have an AP (Aircraft Airframe/Powerplant) mechanics license you can enter as a Warrant Officer. Not sure if that is E- or O- though.

a warrant is a W

i was in the arny for 3 years, did a tour in iraq. i enjoyed it, it was a good learning exp.

i always said the airforce was a whole bunch of (well....i still think that) but if i could go back, thats what i woulda joined. reasons

1. most women in the military, join the airforce

2. there is no getting told to do push-ups or up-downs if you do something wrong

3. you get the best living conditions in the states out of all the military, and over seas, when i was trying to figure out how to make a fan i bought work on 11o volts instead of 22o(thats what they use over there) to try to keep Motorcycles Unlimited cool in the crappy tents we had, they had a big "pop-up" tent that went up in less than 30 minutes that had a spot for an A/C unit, that they had.

reasons one and two r y they r *****-fied, but they do get all that, believe me, its alot. only bad thing about the AF, is you go up in rank slow

If u go into basic with a billy badass attitude, they will ENLIGHTEN you on how badass u are. Amazing thing is they will do it without even touching u. You will learn humility real quick.
My best advise to u if u DO go in is just Shut the up and LISTEN to what they tell u to do. U want to be anonamous (sp) You want to be unknown.
Again a better bet in my opinion would be to take advise from someone who has been there.

Ok break down of the difference of the Air Force and the rest of the military......

1. Army/Navy/Marines all buy mission essential<sp> stuff. IE Runways, Hangers, HQ, CIC all that stuff. So they run out of money by time they get to living conditions and BX or PX bowling alleys, bars all that stuff.

2. The Air Force however builds all the Living conditions first along with bowling alleys, bars, living conditions....they run out of money...but what good is an Air Force Base without a runway and hangers....so they are granted more money for the "Mission" ready stuff.

That's a pretty ****ed up thing to say.. you got more chances of dying on your uber cool stunt bike than I do fighting in Iraq.

We don't need to be dropped on our face to realize we did something wrong... we arn't kids... we are grown adults.. doesn't take push ups to make me know I did something wrong. Im not that dense. Not every AF guy gets a/c when they get deployed... I deploy with the Army...and stay for 8-10 months..... sure wish I was a ***** like the rest of the AF...:laughing6

the benefit is that you only stay in a place like say afghanistan or iraq for 4 months. the downside is, if you get to germany... you can only have 4 months of drunken fun :(

Most regualr deployments for the AF are 3-6 months....

On a more serious note :

You can't take anything ownage says seriously.. he has not been there personally.. he is going off what he has heard or been told....

Are you going to take what some guy making minimal wage and is a wanna be stunter seriously?

There is no way anyone can tell you how you'll like it... or hate it... or if you'll just be okay with it.. You might hate it where I freakin enjoy it... The military has it's ups and downs like any other job.. Sometimes I feel like I can't wait to get the fawk out... sometimes I freaking love it.. I love the experiance.. I love knowing I am in the military and how all my friends are back home going to community college while I am out doing something with my life.

the only way i know of what the AF does is because they were deployed with us......and they had the nice tents with A/C.

not trying to diss you, like i said, if i woulda known, i woulda joined the AF

I was in the Air Force.
good stuff
all military branches re good stuff and its all what you make of it.
I say go in and have a great time and keep a good attitude, it will be an adventure like no other

that is why they have the asvab.
Top scores go to the airforce then navy.
from then it's all down hill
but the army and marines need lots of sandbags too.

and remember that no matter how crappy the job u have it still has a cool name.
"Hey dad, what did u do in the service"?
"Well son i was a fuel distribution speacialist"
"what is that dad"?

"i pumped gas"
If u want to get money for college and see the world check into it.
ask the airforce recruter for a list of overseas bases.
Find out what kinda MOS has a signing bonus, etc.
later
